Life Is Good

Life is good. As of February 2011 I am retired. With two knee replacements and other issues I have had to realize that I just can't work to the level I once did. When I enter any store that has a metal detector at the door every bell and alarm goes off. It can be quite annoying sometimes. I do get to park in the handicap spots though.
Cindy had her cast taken off the fourth of February and is getting better everyday. It has been a challenge for her and she is determined to return to her old self. I know that with her physical therapy (shopping) she will be as good as new in no time.
The weather her has made a big turn toward spring. The daffodils are in bloom and just today I noticed that the pear trees are in bloom. It is really beautiful here when spring arrives.
We were able to take a trip to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Tennessee this past weekend with our friends Perry and Patty. It was our first time visiting there but had heard allot about it from others. We had a great time visiting the shops and especially racing go-carts with Perry. They advertise that they go 40-50 mph but all I know is that they "fly". I forgot about not smiling while we were racing because rubber flys off the tires in front of you. I had black spots on my teeth for a while. The only relief was to not follow but to lead. (ha ha)



They just don't make the belt's big enough


Go-Cart racing is an extreme sport. I didn't know that but I am now a believer. I was a little nervous when I read "Ride at your own risk"




OH what fun !!!!


This was off our balcony and it made my knees go weak.I don't like heights.
